This! It's all about how Nintendo will treat the "new switch", it's all about Nintendo official word. If Nintendo wants to make a new system with several exclusive games and say "this is still a switch" then it will be like that, as it was with GB / GBcolor! If it is in their interest, they can launch numerous "switch updates" for 15 years and count everything as "switch sale".
There is no objective criterion here, it is all a discretionary act! If Nintendo says "it is", then "it will be".

so, what's the problem if they do?

If you're referring to what I said, I have no problem. If we get a Switch with better specs and some great first-party games and some third-party games that aren't compatible on the original Switch, that can work. I'm ok if Nintendo eschews the clear divide like DS to 3DS. I just want a Switch with better specs and some great titles. And if that means it's more like Game Boy to Game Boy Color than DS to 3DS or PS4 to PS5, so be it.
